Thrushes

Some thrushes, like the American Robin, are very familiar birds because they can be found foraging in large groups on grassy lawns. Other thrushes, like Bicknell’s, are more secretive, remaining in the understory of mature forests. Thrushes typically eat insects and berries and nest in cups made from small twigs, leaves, and dead grass.
